Old Crow Medicine Show - James River Blues lyrics

rate me

I just heard the awful news

I could steer around the rocks

But theyre bustin down the docks

James river blues

That train came on through

And the worlds gotten slow

So wheres a boat man to go

I think Ill float on down

To Richmond town

They dont need us anymore

hauling freight from shore to shore

That big iron hauls much more

than we ever could before

Ive see good men going wrong

Ive seen bad ones get it right

As that river rolls along

Ill be steppin out tonight

On the cool flow

floatin down down below

the bridge till the waters edge

From the ridge to the ledge

From the hills to the sea

Ill become a memory

James River blues

James River blues

James River blues
